Ocean with David Attenborough

The first 25 minutes of Ocean with David Attenborough are breathtaking-filled with stunning visuals and fascinating, little-known facts about marine life, much like Attenborough's other masterpieces.

But then came the industrial bottom-trawling scene-and I was overwhelmed. Watching the destruction of the ocean floor was brutal. It was not just shocking; it was heartbreaking. I had to stop watching. It hurt deeply.

I'm not sure if I can bring myself to finish the documentary. As a human being, I felt ashamed. We are destroying everything that is beautiful and vital. This film is important, but it's also painful. A must-watch-but not an easy one.

No words. Must watch. This documentary is for all.

Well done to David and his team. To have experienced paradise on earth many times over in the adventure that has been his life ... And to share with the world how important it is to cherish and look after our natural world. David is a living legend. What a legacy!

Here's to us protecting more than a third of our ocean. I hope we can protect even more. How embarrassing the lengths we go for profit and greed. I knew we pillaged our oceans but I had no idea how bad it was. Or didn't want to know.

We really need to consume less, lol. Not just from the ocean, but in general.

To me, this feels like the most important documentary of our time. Whilst watching, I felt the full spectrum of emotions - despair, awe, wonder, fear - to name of few. The biggest emotion I am left with, however, is hope. I have complete admiration for Sir David Attenborough and his significant contributions to our world. The message in this documentary is a gift to the planet and I hope it is received with the importance and respect it deserves.

The documentary was visually beautiful and the musical score moved me as much as the message. In my opinion, the best pieces of television vibrate within you long after you've watched them - I am still fizzing with thought and emotion hours after watching.

Went to see this documentary, released to mark the 99th birthday of David Attenborough. The plea to save our oceans is heartfelt and moving, with David telling us that he's coming to the end of his days. I was appalled at the wanton and greedy destruction of the ocean habitats and sea creatures through profligate overfishing. However, despair turns to hope as David explains how easy it is to repair the ravages we have wrought on the marine environment. We really must not turn a blind eye to the blight of overfishing, horrific trawling and the near extinction of marine species. David narrates with as much passion and dedication as ever, and it was quite poignant to see him standing on the white cliffs at the end.

Profoundly highlights the ubiquity and devastating impact of industrial fishing practices, particularly seabed trawling, on our marine ecosystems (that otherwise have the potential to save our planet from climate catastrophe). This method indiscriminately scrapes the ocean floor, destroying fragile marine habitats such as cold-water coral reefs, seagrass beds, and nursery grounds that are essential for fish populations and carbon storage. The documentary makes a compelling case for global action to ban this destructive practice and establishing no-fishing zones, which have been shown to have rapid success in allowing marine life to recover. Let's save our sea, save our planet.
